me, too. I'm HYPERsensitive.
but isn't that what they say about us alcoholics? the colors are brighter for us, the feelings deeper, the lies more creative ....heh!
only when our lips are moving.
jimhere, I love your posts. could have just put my name on it, dude.
except for the accepting compliments part ... I'm still tripping on myself on that one. I still hold someplace in my mind that they wouldn't be complimenting me if they'd been paying closer attention ... ?
and uggg... the grey. ya. because the grey days are the ones I might go out LOOKING for something to be interested in, you know? Not necessarily booze, but maybe some distracting gossip ... that kind of thing. I have to really police myself along those lines. I've had to get up and move to other groups when the chit chat goes that way. Maybe its an ex bartender thing. I don't CARE ... I just wanna know!
and chip - I'd love to be able to adopt that 'whatever they think' attitude, too. I do know I can't control it ... but it doesn't mean I don't still try to control what others are thinking of me. It just means I'm trying not to.
great topic, carol!
got me thinking once again!
